that is one well dressed snowman in Norway.
There's something rather lonely, almost melancholic, about the Swedish scenes.
The snowman scene is fun. I used to see much more snow when I lived in Morocco, and I always carry a carrot whenever I went to the mountains in the winter :)
The Norway stamps look really beautiful to me.
The Swedish stamps are great.
1989 was the last year I worked in Norway but I had left before the Christmas stamp was issued so it is new to me.
